The balcony was a dream to sit outside in the evenings and listen to the ocean. The pool was a hit and we used it each day. Both Grandview and Beacons beaches were great but go to Beacons if you like to play in the water. The beach supplies that were included like chairs and a small surfing board were a plus for us. We enjoyed our stay.

This home was spacious and perfect for our family vacation. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied with cooking items. We loved the view from the upper deck and the neighborhood was delightful! The private pool was an added attraction not found in many rentals. We will stay here again on our next Encinitas trip!

Great house - comfortable and with everything we needed. The pool was fun as was the ping pong table. Nice deck to relax on and watch the surfers go by. The beach was really only good for surfing and not relaxing or swimming really but it was a great location and we loved it!

Beautiful home. Very short walk to Grandview Beach. Kids loved the pool in the back.

Just had the best mini vacation before our 7 yo starts school tomorrow. Stayed 4 nights and could have definitely stayed more. The house is BEAUTIFUL. It's large, well kept, and very organized. It has everything you'd need and want for a relaxing and majestic vacation with your family or friends. The beds were very comfortable. The layout of the house was fun and wonderful. The private pool was amazing (heated so perfect temp to swim in at night and in morning). We walked to the beach each day and the drive to a nice swimming beach was only 5 minutes. Highly recommend drinking your morning coffee on the balcony and ordering or making dinner and eating it on the balcony during sun set. We spent a full day at the house on Saturday (no going out or beach time) and it was incredible. The ping pong table board games offered endless fun and each tv has different streaming platforms you can put on when the kids need a break (and the parents too :) ). The stairs in the house were really kid-friendly in my opinion. My 2 year old walked up and down the stairs really easily and safely with the railings. Never felt concerned about falling down the stairs. We ordered our own groceries and made breakfast and lunch each day in the HUGE kitchen. Another enjoyable aspect was the bamboo outside that you could enjoy while eating a meal at the dining room table. OH - and the house offers surf boards and boogies boards, beach umbrellas, towels, and beach toys for guests and we used it all!

We took the family- older adult children, their spouses, and our 2 grandchildren. We moved our daughter into Cal State San Marcos early in the trip and it was an easy 25 minute drive there. We really enjoyed the large balcony patio with ocean views and watching the surfers coming through each morning and all day. We also spent a little bit of time in the small private pool that has a nice lagoon step for small ones or lounging. The ping pong table was fun and the open living area/kitchen allowed us all to enjoy family time with plenty of space for the grand babies to play too! GrandView Beach is steps away but this beach is mostly rocks and meant for surfing. However, 15 minutes away is one of the best beaches we’ve visited, especially for the grand babies- Moonlight Beach. We walked to dinner and a really cool craft brewery which were easy 10-15 minute walks from the home. It seemed like anything you wanted to do was an easy 15-30 minute drive- escape rooms, restaurants, you name it. There was parking inside the gate for 2 cars. The left is reserved for the owners who stay in the back unit. They were all very friendly and hospitable. There are plenty of towels, including beach towels. The kitchen has all you need to cook. Overall, I don’t think you can find a better place with the view, amenities, and mainly location for the price. Would definitely recommend.
